KU Common Music: Blast from the Past BOWL FEST

Thursday, April 30, 2015
Kansas Union, Jaybowl

Once again, the final Common Book event of the academic year will be the KU Common Music celebration. At last year’s KU Common Music event, we were entertained by Drakkar Sauna and MAW during Party at the Pavilion. We saw the beautiful KU campus from a unique space with great music, colleagues, friends, and food. This year DJ Alan Paul will spin the 80s tunes of Evelyn Bucknow’s youth in another unique KU space, the JayBowl in the Kansas Union. This iconic campus space is preparing to close, at least temporarily, so we are going to send it out with KU Common Music, A Blast from the Past.

Beginning at 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 30 we will gather, socialize, bowl, eat, and get down to Duran Duran, Cyndi Lauper, The Bangles, Michael Jackson, Culture Club, and many, many others at the JayBowl. Please join us in celebrating the 2014-2015 KU Common Book, The Center of Everything in a classic campus space, the JayBowl. This event is FREE.
